City Hall was decked out on Wednesday to celebrate the S.F. Giants World Series Championship

So … our beloved Gigantes have torturously (yet masterfully) won San Francisco’s first World freaking Series Championship. And, hallelujah!

Within those 24 hours, we also got Attorney General Jerry Brown (once again) as our new Guv. In January, Mayor Gavin Newsom will decamp EssEff for Sacto to serve as our Lt. Guv. And e-Meg is back at home, poring over “Art of Decoupage” craft books determining how best to frame her $160 mil pile of canceled, personal checks.

Man, it’s kinda quiet out there. Now what?

Well under a perfect, blue-sky day at Wednesday’s stupendous, glorious, ginormous and magical S.F. Giants Victory Parade & Rally at City Hall, Mayor Newsom proposed a mighty fine idea.

“This town is going to need another mayor soon,” explained Newsom, to the black-and-orange-clad crowd which stretched as far as the eye could see. “And I have just three words: ‘Fear the Beard’!”

“I’m kind of having a mini-heart attack,” said Wilson, post-parade on a podium in front of City Hall filled with team members, Hall of Famers, Giants execs, family and local poobahs. “I’m not sure what it’s from. Maybe the electricity of this crowd, maybe the smell of Prop. 19.”

That, folks, is exactly why we love, admire, raucously cheer on and continue to believe in our boys of orange-and-black who currently reign as the kings of Crazytown.

“Today is about fifty some-odd years of pent-up faith and hope, filled into one year,” enthused Giants pitcher and two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum, “And what a year it was!”

This sparkling celebration had even less time to marinate. Quickly and expertly organized by S.F. Giants execs and the Protocol and Special Events departments of the Mayor’s Office, the parade and rally, which drew an estimated 1 million revelers to downtown, went off, for the most part, without a hitch.

Designer Stanlee Gatti weighed in on certain decor elements, much of which concerned the size, shape and origin of confetti which would be dropped from buildings along the Montgomery Street portion of the parade.

“I was in Peet’s this morning and someone in line started talking about the best location to watch the parade,” said Gatti, of the man torn between getting near City Hall or positioning himself along the route. “He said he was leaning toward Montgomery Street because he’d heard there was going to be ten-thousand pounds of orange confetti.”

And there was. Weighing in at about ninety-percent eco-friendly and biodegradable, too.

“Of course, I would’ve liked even more confetti,” said Gatti, with a laugh. “I wanted it four-feet deep, like the snow in Aspen on January 23. Except, orange.”

S.F. Giants World Series Champions Team, Staff and Family on the dias in front of City Hall

S.F. Giants President and fourth-generation Giants’ loving San Franciscan Larry Baer, recalled the many people, mayors, institutions, investors and loyal fans which rallied to both bring, and keep, the Giants in our fair city.

“Our World Series Championship pays tribute to the more than 90 million fans who’ve passed through turnstiles of Seals Stadium, Candlestick Park and now, AT&T Park,” exclaimed Baer. “Today is a blessed reminder of a dream fulfilled for all of us.”

That dream, now cherished by an entire city, half-a-state and our loveable team of talented misfits, was never more evident than when Giants first baseman, slugger and newly-minted bunter, Aubrey Huff addressed the thong. Er, throng.

“The Giants organization had the heart to bring me here, give me a chance,” said Huff. “And here I am in front of you beautiful people, nailing this World Series Championship. You deserve it just as much as I do.”

With that, Huff, warned that while he understood the parade was a family event, he wanted to share a certain item of clothing with the crowd which wildly roared its knowing approval.

“This thing nailed it,” exclaimed The Huffinator, twirling the talisman aloft. “The ‘Rally Thong’ is going to the Hall of Fame. Or I’ll just wear it in next year’s Spring training. We’re doing it again, baby. San Francisco? I love you.”
